I received the laptop yesterday, the setup was easy and quick, no complications. It’s sleek and chic, the screen is amazing the colours are so vibrant. So far I’m impressed
So far so good the laptop can handel most games (fortnite,minecraft,swtor,etc) handy having 2 ways to charge via the power supply included or the usb-c the free dust cover for the keyboard is really useful. The only problems I have faced is battery life is meh not the best not the worst but the big one is the ssd gets ripping hot if you are gameing the way its designed to be replaceable is grate but for cooling no so grate it could degrade the ssd quicker due to over heating but other than that it’s it’s perfectly serviceable slim laptop
I was genuinely surprised by the quality of this. It’s perfectly capable of doing everyday tasks like browsing or watching videos and the screen is great. I bought it to since I don’t like moving my Macbook out of the office, and wanted something to browse with on the sofa or in the garden. The trackpad doesn’t live up to Apple’s excellent ones, and I’d recommend disable two-finger taps since they have a tendency to get picked up when your trying to scroll, but other than that, it does the job just fine
My primary reason for buying this was for the SSD memory as they are always faster loading and better for a travelling computer. My previous computer (HP Pavilion 8gb Ram 1Tb memory) was never as fast as this and was getting very temperamental after only 2 years of life.
I had to accept a few “Cons” with this computer, Firstly the limited memory capacity, secondly only one USB port, and thirdly no RJ45 connector. That said probably the average or student user would probably not require more memory or connections.
So to add to this computer i have also purchased a 1Tb SSD drive and a USB “C” fitting multi adaptor to accommodate my additional requirements.
Of course with these additions this makes the whole deal about another 125-00 gbp but its still cheaper that the equivalent 12Gb ram 1Tb SSD computer on the market. Most people may not require as much memory or extra ports.
Now I have a superb compact OTG computer which is very light and compact which i can just pick up and go.
In use it is fast and multitasking is no problem. Im not a fan of mouse pads so use a wireless mouse which uses the only USB port for its receiver. (Hence i need more ports)
The “C” port on the left hand side of the keyboard is the new master outlet for almost all new peripheries. You can connect adaptors for more USB,SD cards,HDMI, etc.
On internet use of Skype or similar apps i found the camera adequate and the sound very good.
The keyboard is full size edge to edge and backlit, but no side number pad.
The screen is top quality and movies load and play superbly.
I recommend this.
All good so far. US keyboard doesn’t bother me but comes with an overlay if you need it. Actual keypad can be a little sticky from time to time. Battery life is great. All in all good value for money and does what I need.
I was not sure before purchasing the Chuwi laptop, I have never heard of the name Chuwi before that made me think hard if I should buy go for it or not. The reviews I had read was kind mixed, but more we’re on the positive side. After I received the package I was surprised because I was expecting some messy packaging, but the presentation of the packaging were done very well and looked premium. The feel of the laptop is very nice, though you cannot open the lid with one hand like some expensive laptops, it still looks more expensive than it actually is. The laptop is very fast and responsive. My favourite thing about the laptop is the back lit keyboard, I had no idea before purchasing that it would have this functionality. I’m loving using this laptop, excellent value for money, you will not go wrong with this laptop.
I bought this laptop mainly for homeschooling my daughter during lockdown but have ended up using it quite a bit myself since I like the form factor of the screen.
Perfect for my daughter as its light and not too thick. Battery life gets her through the day (6/7 hrs) but it needs a bit of a top up before I use it in the evening.
Processor/graphics chipset is fine for everyday tasks like Web browsing/word processing but don’t expect it will be much good for modern gaming. I’ve not played any games on it though. Boot up is rapid and everything ticks along at a nice pace.
Highlight of the laptop is the screen which has an excellent resolution and bright, vibrant colours. My screen has a very minor defect in a small spot where it looks like the lcd hasn’t quite been bonded to the glass/plastic correctly. This small smudge is only visible when the screen is black and is so barely noticeable its not worth the effort of sending it back.
I had an issue when setting the laptop up where I couldn’t log on to my Microsoft account. I tried numerous things but in the end had to factory reset the laptop and try again. This worked OK but was a bit annoying.
Wasn’t sure how well I’d get on with the UK keyboard overlay but it’s not really much of a problem.
All in all an excellent laptop for the price and I would buy another. I would have given it 5 out of 5 if it wasn’t for the couple of minor niggles.
his tiny thing really hits hard like some of i3 devices. i was surprised that it doesnt lag at all for my use. i am only useing it for youtube at minimum of 1440p at all times and it plays like its nothing. it handles 4k like a champ aswell. if you dont know, this is the same screen that you find in huawei laptops which are close to 1000 pounds. colours are proper acurate and brightness is more than enough for a proper lit room. oh man this screen is stunning. usb 3 is fast. it comes with normal charger but if u have a 12volt PD charger lying arround then you can even charge it with usb c.
for 350 pounds you getting 12gb ram 256 fast ssd and MOST IMPORTANTLY A STUNNING 1440p DISPLAY and if you still gonna nitpick (engage in fussy or pedantic fault-finding) then theres nothing that gonna please you mate…!
I’m really impressed with this laptop and also the support service provided by CHUWI. The screen is absolutely amazing, it runs as fast as my 4 year old i7 dell lattitude with an ssd and 8gb ram. Sound is way better too. The laptop feels premium and has what i can only describe as a a petrol effect metal shell where you can see multiple colours at certain angles. Battery life is good, picks up wifi just as good as my dell and feels special when you are using it VS the dell that just feels boring. My only issue was that Windows would not activate. I emailed the vip customer care address and had a reply within 24hrs, the first fix didnt work so I emailed again and within 6 hours they replied and solved my issue. I honestly wasn’t expecting such a fast response and such friendly service. Super impressed. Absolute bargain.
Had this laptop 2 days and so far I am very impressed.
Has a little issue with the product key when activating Windows, so I emailed the customer services and within 2 minutes I had a reply and with 3 hours I had the new key. 5 stars for the customer service.
The laptop itself is very fast and responsive. Playing games no problem, OK not on the highest graphical details but still more then playable, smooth, no lag online and no gliching.
If you was thinking of getting this I say get it…. I am very happy with this item.
